Default Rear-end problems

My rear-end has started to feel very loose this week. It has also started making a very strange noise coming from the back drivers side. Best way to describe it is it sounds like a duck "quack quack quack quack..." Accel, Decel, gear, no gear, it doesn't matter. It does it when I turn to the right. It stays pretty constant and doesn't really increase frequency with speed. As far as how it's feeling loose, it feels almost like my lugs aren't tightened. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

That's what I'm thinking. It does slow down as I'm slowing down though. What's the average repair cost?

Had one done when I got my 1st S.Want to say 240.00 installed 68.00 for the bearing but u might also need a new hub by the sound of it.Grab the tire at 6 & 12 o'clock and see,u'll have jack her up.

if you can do a little work yourself, replace the hub and bearing for about $150 or so...take it to a machine shop to have the new hub pressed into the bearing....save yourself $100 or so.

it's really not that difficult of a job.

Check on the price of the tools u'll need.36mm socket and the honda ball joint puller is recommended.The ball joint fork is optional.Don't damage the threads or it could get expensive.
